    Over the last two years, there has been a flurry of high-level official visits between India and Sri Lanka. In February 2015, President Maithripala Sirisena of Sri Lanka visited India followed by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi who was in Sri Lanka in March 2015. Just recently, in May, Modi concluded a second visit to Sri Lanka, as did Sri Lanka's Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, who was in India in September 2015 and April 2017. In addition, there have been a number of ministerial meetings between the two sides.
